Tap the key and MAKE SURE TO RELEASE IT. Holding it down will cause you to lag out. If you still experience the problem after trying that, let me know.

Because screenprinting really often can make you lag which is something meiun decided to stop people from using this to there advantage somehow.

i did not lag out computer speed wise. so if meiun doing that he's assumes your holding prscreen just for lagging. (im not saying your wrong im just adding onto your idea) good idea btw.

Well...just to test it out, I logged on...I held the button down for 7 seconds, and didn't get kicked. I did this with ONLY Stick Online open...and I have an essentially maxed out gaming computer now. It didn't raise my ping at all, in fact the lag trick won't even work for me now...I simply can't lag my machine. Point being, if your running an older machine...make sure you don't have other applications that put a load on it...surprisingly, I found on my old machine MS Paint does quite a number on the CPU...just to name one.

oh well you got me. are you sure nothing was running in the background that could have been reading from your clipbord? also did you install any new software or update anything in hardware or software before this happened?

Well it technically doesn't change your connection speed, but it can change your computers CPU usage which would cause you to lose a portion of your frames per second which potentially could make you seem really lagged.
